What happens here

After failing to retrieve the pump by hand, the creator decides to use warm water from a garden hose to melt the ice around the pump. He inserts the hose into the bucket containing the pump and allows the warm water to flow, slowly melting the surrounding ice and freeing the pump. Once freed, he removes the pump from the bucket.

Goal: Free the frozen fountain pump using warm water.
